September 16, 2026 1p ET/12p CT

High-performing women often deliver meaningful results yet struggle to clearly articulate their impact in performance conversations. This disconnect between contribution and communication can lead to under-recognition, missed opportunities, and slower career progression. This session explores the “confidence–performance gap” and how evaluation pressure can distort self-perception. Participants will examine common patterns that lead to undervaluing their work and learn how to apply a strengths-based lens to accurately assess their contributions. Through practical tools and guided reflection, attendees will learn how to translate their work into clear, measurable impact aligned with business outcomes. The session will also provide strategies to confidently communicate value and close performance gaps ahead of reviews. Participants will leave with a more accurate performance narrative and the confidence to represent their impact with clarity and credibility.
